1. Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can! If you’re short on time, you can prepare the gnocchi dough and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. When you’re ready, just shape and cook the gnocchi as directed.

2. Can I freeze pumpkin gnocchi?

Absolutely! If you want to make a big batch for later, freezing the gnocchi is a great idea. After shaping the gnocchi, lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until firm, about 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To cook, simply drop the frozen gnocchi directly into boiling water they don’t need to be thawed first.

3. Can I use store-bought pumpkin puree?

Yes, store-bought pumpkin puree works perfectly for this recipe. Just make sure you’re using plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added spices and sugar.
